DRV Farming Program
Updated over 3 months ago

UPDATED (MAY 8 12:00:00 AM UTC)
The DRV snapshot has been taken as MAY 8 12:00:00 AM UTC.
Purchasing LYRA from May 8 12:00 AM UTC onwards will not confer any additional DRV.

Blocknumbers for the DRV snapshot were as follows:

  • Optimism. The balance on Optimism after the block: 119763811

  • Arbitrum. The balance on Arbitrum after the block: 208941786

  • Ethereum. The balance on Ethereum after the block: 19821623

To see the balances taken at snapshot visit the Holder Page.


The DRV Farming Program runs from April 19 at 10 AM UTC to May 8 at 00:00 UTC.

LYRA holders who stake and lock LYRA before the snapshot on May 8 will earn Holder Points. Holders earn 1 Holder Point per staked and locked LYRA per hour. The number of Holder Points earned during the program contribute to the size of your DRV airdrop in Q3. It is important to note that Holder Points cannot be earned by staking and locking LYRA after the snapshot is taken on May 8.

DRV farming is an additional incentive for staking and locking LYRA. All LYRA holders will be converted 1:1 to DRV, with the same total supply, regardless of whether they stake and lock their LYRA. Learn more about the LYRA to DRV migration.

This article will explain how to farm DRV by staking and locking LYRA.

Holder Points

There are three ways to stake and lock LYRA to earn Holder Points:

1. Hold stkLYRA on Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, or Arbitrum

The LYRA DAO is governed by stkLYRA holders. By holding stkLYRA on the Ethereum, Optimism, or Arbitrum network, you are automatically eligible for Holder Points, meaning no further action is required. You can manage your stkLYRA at gov.lyra.finance. You will start earning Holder Points as soon as the program starts on April 19 at 10:00 AM UTC.

Note that if you hold LYRA and wish to participate in the program, it is recommended that you stake your tokens via the newly deployed 'sink' contracts. This is a cheaper option and is available on the Ethereum, Optimism, and Arbitrum networks. For more details, see the paragraph below.

2. Stake LYRA on Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, or Arbitrum

LYRA holders can stake their LYRA via cheaper 'Sink' contracts on the Ethereum, Optimism, and Arbitrum networks. These new sink contracts require less gas, making the staking process cheaper. Once you have staked and locked your LYRA, you will start earning Holder Points immediately. You can stake LYRA at lyra.finance/airdrop.

3) Commit LYRA Trading Rewards

LYRA trading rewards earned over the last 3 months will be distributed after April 24. Instead of claiming these pending LYRA rewards, traders can ‘commit’ to stake and lock them before or after April 24 to earn Holder Points. It is important to note that this action is irreversible and will also stake and lock all future trading rewards earned between April 24 and May 8.

Ineligible Actions

During the program, the following actions by LYRA holders will result in the loss of all Holder Points accumulated:

  • Unstaking LYRA via the Governance Interface (gov.lyra.finance) or via manually interacting with the staking contract.

  • Claiming LYRA trading rewards that have been committed to be staked and locked.
